West Point Cadet Tweets Kaepernick Support: 'Communism Will Win'

Unfortunately it is all to real. I personally spoke with the USMA Office of Public Affairs. This individual is currently serving with troops. Think about that

What a knucklehead!

I read it and the linked article. I see views that are not likely to make him popular with his peers. What I don't see is a call to overthrow the government or the Constitution. Communism is a failed economic system, not a political system. Some real nasty characters, such as Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse Tung have used it as a means to achieve totalitarian rule, but it has also been an economic system used by democratically ruled communes, kibbutzes, etc.

In terms of Federal Law, political activity is fairly narrowly defined. It involves public support to or advocacy of a candidate for office or a political party. That is not present in his writing. Arguably, an active duty member on Rallypoint making statements in support of a candidate or party are conducting political activity, but the subject 2LT is not.

There is perhaps some uniform violations in the photos. Maybe some conduct unbecoming, discredit upon the institution, but mostly, it's a knucklehead ill advisedly expressing his views.

Could it be as simple as the Commies within protecting the Commie ?
Commies love a purge. Is this something that really and honestly needs to be evaluated ?
